Authorities in India have found 10 bodies, blindfolded and hanging from the ceiling of a house in New Delhi and another body of a 70-year-old woman on the floor.

Police officer Vineet Kumar said all of the deceased belonged to a family and most had lived in one home in Burari village in the northern part of New Delhi.

Ten of the bodies were found hanging from the ceiling, while a 70-year-old woman was found dead on the floor of the house, Mr Kumar said.

All were sent for an autopsy on Sunday (local time).
